Description

  The present disclosure relates to a sensor storage container that stores a sensor that measures biological information such as a blood glucose level, a sensor management method using the same, and a sensor information management system that manages the sensor stored in the sensor storage container. It is.

The conventional sensor storage container includes a container and a biometric information sensor stored in the container. For example, when it is a sensor storage container that stores a sensor for measuring a blood glucose level, information on the sensor stored in the sensor storage container (for example, based on the initial storage number of the sensor, the manufacturing control number, and the manufacturing date) Sensor lifetime information, etc.) was held in an electronic tag attached to the container.
And the blood glucose level measuring device reads the information regarding this sensor, and it became what manages the sensor in a sensor storage container (for example, the following patent document 1 exists as similar literatures similar to this).

JP 2012-78109 A

The problem in the above-mentioned conventional example is that the usability of the sensor is poor. That is, in the sensor storage container of the above-described conventional example, for example, if it stores a sensor for measuring a blood glucose level, information indicating a period during which the measurement function of the sensor stored in the sensor storage container is effective. Is displayed by the blood glucose meter. Here, what shows the period during which the measurement function of the sensor works effectively includes, for example, an expiration date and an expiration date.
The expiration date indicates a period during which the measurement function of the sensor is effective from the date when the sensor is manufactured. The expiration date is a period when the sensor is first removed from the unused sensor storage container, and indicates a period during which the measurement function of the sensor is effective from the start date. That is, a sensor for measuring a blood glucose level has such an expiration date because the measurement function deteriorates when it is exposed to air for a long period of time. In actual use, in order to cope with the case where the sensor is used up, the user usually prepares a spare sensor storage container.

Thus, in a situation where the expiration date and the expiration date of the sensor are set, the user tries to take out the sensor from the sensor storage container in use. However, as described above, in a situation where there are a plurality of sensor storage containers including a spare sensor storage container, the user cannot determine which sensor storage container is in use, which is inconvenient. Met.
Therefore, the present disclosure aims to improve the usability of a sensor for measuring biological information.

According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a sensor storage container includes: a container body having an opening; a lid that covers the opening of the container body; and one or more sensors for measuring biological information stored in the container body. Prepare. The container body or lid has a mark including information indicating the expiration date of the sensor from the time when the lid is released from the container body. The mark is covered by a removable seal.
According to the second aspect of the present disclosure, the sensor information management system includes a container body having an opening and a lid that covers the opening of the container body, and stores a plurality of sensors for measuring biological information in the container body. A biometric information measuring device to which the sensor accommodated in the sensor accommodating container is mounted, and a communication terminal capable of communicating with the biometric information measuring device and receiving a measurement value of the biometric information measuring device. The sensor storage container has individual identification information of the sensor storage container, information indicating the initial number of sensors stored in the container body, and use of the sensor from the time when the lid is released from the container body. A mark having sensor information including information indicating a time limit is displayed. The communication terminal acquires a sensor information reading unit that reads a mark, a storage unit that stores sensor information acquired from the mark, a display unit that displays sensor information stored in the storage unit, and sensor information from the storage unit. And a control unit to be displayed on the display unit. Furthermore the control unit of the communication terminal, whenever receiving a measurement value from a living body information measuring device, is stored in the storage unit the number of sensor obtained by subtracting the retract and number of sensors on the display unit.

As described above, in the sensor storage container according to the present disclosure, the container or lid is provided with the expiration date mark for setting the expiration date of the sensor from the time when the lid is released from the container, and the expiration date mark can be freely removed. Covered with a sticker. For this reason, when the user uses an unused sensor storage container, the seal is removed and the expiration date mark is confirmed. With this expiration date mark, the user can know the expiration date of the sensor that measures the blood glucose level. At this time, the sensor storage container indicates that it is in use because the seal is peeled off, so that the user can distinguish it from the unused sensor storage container covered with the seal. Become. Therefore, the user can take out and use the sensor from the sensor storage container in use, and as a result, the usability of the sensor can be improved.
In addition, since the sensor for measuring biological information stored in such a sensor storage container dislikes light, the sensor storage container is made of a light-shielding material, and the sensor storage container is closed when the lid of the sensor storage container is closed. In many cases, the storage state cannot be confirmed from the outside. Under such circumstances, in order to know the exact number of sensors in the sensor storage container, the user has to open the lid of the sensor storage container one by one, and this is inconvenient. .

  Therefore, in the sensor information management system according to the present disclosure, the biological information is measured by the biological information measuring device, and each time the measurement value is sent to the communication terminal, the communication terminal determines the accurate number of sensors in the sensor storage container. Acquire and display on the display. Therefore, the user can know the exact number of sensors in the sensor storage container, and the usability of the sensor is improved from this point.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a sensor storage container for storing a sensor for measuring a blood glucose level, for example, will be described.
(Embodiment 1)
The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[1-1 Sensor storage container]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a sensor storage container (an example of a sensor storage container). The sensor storage container 1 stores therein a long plate-like sensor 2 (an example of a sensor) for measuring a blood glucose level (an example of biological information). The sensor storage container 1 includes a cylindrical container body 3 (an example of a container body) having an opening on the upper surface, and a lid 4 (an example of a lid) that covers the opening of the container body 3 in an openable and closable manner. Yes.
Further, the lid 4 is provided with an expiration date mark indicating the expiration date of the sensor 2 from the time when the lid 4 is released from the container body 3. Specifically, a display unit 5 is provided on the lid 4, and the display unit 5 includes a label 6 and a barcode 7 (an example of a mark). The label 6 displays information related to the contents stored in the sensor storage container 1 in characters. As shown in FIG. 7A, the bar code 7 is sensor information relating to the sensor 2 stored in the container body 3 (an example of sensor information; information related to the sensor 2 in the container. Indicates an expiration date mark). That is, the sensor information is composed of the barcode 7.

In the present embodiment, two deadlines are set for the sensor 2. The expiration date and the expiration date set by the above-mentioned expiration date mark. The expiration date indicates a period during which the measurement function of the sensor 2 is effective from the date when the sensor 2 is manufactured. Furthermore, what added the expiration date based on the manufacture date of the sensor 2 is set as the expiration date. The expiration date is determined when the sensor 2 is manufactured.
The expiration date is a date when the sensor 2 is first removed from the unused sensor storage container 1 as a use start date, and indicates a period during which the measurement function of the sensor 2 is effective from the use start date. The expiration date is determined by adding the expiration date to the start date of use. That is, as is well known, the sensor 2 that measures the blood sugar level deteriorates the measurement function when it is exposed to air for a long period of time, and thus such an expiration date is set. Since the expiration date is determined when the sensor 2 is first removed from the unused sensor storage container 1, the user can use the sensor 2 when the unused sensor storage container 1 is used (for example, 90 days). It is necessary to confirm. Therefore, the expiration date is set to 90 days, for example, and an expiration date mark indicating (setting) the expiration date is configured by the barcode 7 and displayed on the display unit 5.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, the user uses the barcode reading unit (an example of the sensor information reading unit) 23 (see FIG. 6) of the portable terminal (an example of the communication terminal) 8 to read the sensor information from the barcode 7. The initial storage number (for example, 30 sheets) of the sensor 2 and the expiration date mark (for example, 90 days) are read. The portable terminal 8 sets an expiration date (for example, 90 days) based on the expiration date mark, and displays the read sensor information on the display unit 11 of the portable terminal 8. By this display, the user can confirm the initial number of stored sensors 2 and the expiration date. Thereafter, the mobile terminal 8 manages the number of sensors 2 in the sensor storage container 1 and the expiration date based on the read sensor information.
When measuring the blood glucose level, the user takes out one sensor 2 from the sensor storage container 1 and attaches it to a blood glucose level measuring device (an example of a biological information measuring device) 9 as shown in FIG. 9 measures the blood glucose level. Next, the measuring device 9 transmits the measured blood glucose level to the portable terminal 8. When receiving the blood glucose level, the mobile terminal 8 reduces the number of sensors 2 being managed, displays “29 remaining sensors” on the display unit 11, and manages the number of sensors 2 and the expiration date. This management operation will be described later in detail. The communication between the measuring instrument 9 and the portable terminal 8 may be wireless or wired.

Thereafter, when the container body 3 is closed with the lid 4, the remaining sensors 2 are stored in a sealed state in the container body 3, and the measurement function of the sensor 2 is prevented from being deteriorated.
The basic configuration and operation of the present embodiment have been described above.
The feature of the sensor storage container 1 in this embodiment is that the initial storage number of the sensor 2 and the expiration date mark for setting the expiration date of the sensor from the time when the lid 4 is released from the container body 3 are displayed only on the display unit 5. In addition to displaying, as shown in FIG. 2, the display unit 5 is removably covered with a seal 12.
Specifically, in the unused sensor storage container 1, the display unit 5 in FIG. 1 is covered with a seal 12 so that the initial storage number and expiration date mark of the sensor 2 are hidden from view. Thereby, the state in which the user cannot recognize the initial storage number of the sensor 2 and the expiration date mark is formed.

Furthermore, a guidance display is provided on the surface of the seal 12 to prompt the user to remove the seal 12 from the expiration date mark (that is, on the display unit 5) when the sensor storage container 1 starts to be used. Specifically, on the surface of the seal 12, for example, “Please peel off the seal and check the expiration date” is displayed in characters to prompt the user to remove the seal 12 from the display unit 5. For this reason, when the unused sensor storage container 1 is used, that is, when the lid 4 is released from the container body 3 for the first time, the user removes the seal 12 from the lid 4 according to the guide for removing the seal 12 and marks the expiration date mark. Check. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the display unit 5 is exposed from under the peeled seal 12, and sensor information (initial storage number and expiration date mark) composed of the barcode 7 is exposed. In addition, a guidance such as “Please register a barcode” is displayed on the label 6 of the display unit 5. When the user reads sensor information from the barcode 7 using the barcode reading unit 23 (FIG. 6 ) of the portable terminal 8, the portable terminal 8 displays the read sensor information on its own display unit 11. By this display, the user can confirm the initial storage number of the sensors 2 and the expiration date based on the expiration date mark. That is, the expiration date mark allows the user to know the expiration date of the sensor that measures the blood glucose level.

At this time, the sensor storage container 1 indicates that it is in use because the seal 12 is peeled off, and can be distinguished from the unused sensor storage container 1 covered with the seal 12. .
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the user carries the spare sensor storage container 1 </ b> B together with the sensor storage container 1 </ b> A, the measuring instrument 9, and the puncture device 13 in use in the storage case 14 as shown in FIG. 3. There are many cases. At this time, since the seal 12 is peeled off from the sensor storage container 1A in use, it can be clearly distinguished from the unused sensor storage container 1B covered with the seal 12.
Therefore, the user can take out the sensor 2 that has approached the expiration date from the sensor storage container 1A in use. As a result, the usability of the sensor can be improved.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the sensor storage container 1 of the present embodiment is bonded so that the seal 12 straddles both the container body 3 and the lid 4 in a state where the container body 3 is closed by the lid 4. The closed parts of the container body 3 and the lid 4 are sealed. For this reason, when the sensor storage container 1 in an unused state is used, when the lid 4 is released from the container main body 3, the seal 12 for sealing is surely peeled off. Therefore, the user can determine whether the sensor storage container 1 is in use or not, and can improve the usability of the sensor.
In the present embodiment, the expiration date mark is composed of the barcode 7 of the display unit 5, but may be displayed as character information on the label 6 of the display unit 5. According to this configuration, the user can visually read the expiration date mark of the sensor 2 by removing the seal 12 of the sensor storage container 1 when using the sensor storage container 1 in an unused state. The sensor is easy to use.

In the present embodiment, the display unit 5 for displaying the expiration date mark is provided on the lid 4, but it may be provided on the outer surface of the container body 3 and hidden by the seal 12.
[1-2 Sensor information management system]
Now, since the sensor 2 accommodated in such a sensor storage container 1 dislikes light, the sensor storage container 1 is made of a light-shielding material. Therefore, when the lid 4 of the sensor storage container 1 is closed, the storage state of the sensor 2 cannot be confirmed from the outside. Under such circumstances, in order to know the exact number of sensors in the sensor storage container 1, the sensor storage container 1 must be opened and counted one by one, which is inconvenient in this respect.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, a sensor information management system is provided in which the number of sensors of the sensor 2 is managed so that the accurate number of sensors in the sensor storage container 1 can be known without the user opening the lid 4 one by one. . This will be specifically described below.

FIG. 4 shows a sensor information management system 100 (an example of a sensor information management system) according to this embodiment. The sensor information management system 100 manages the number of sensors 2 and the expiration date of the sensors 2 stored in the sensor storage container 1. The sensor information management system 100 includes a sensor storage container 1 in which a plurality of sensors 2 are stored, a measuring instrument 9 that is used by mounting the sensor 2 stored in the sensor storage container 1, and a measurement value of the measuring instrument 9 is Mobile terminal 8 (an example of a communication terminal) to be transmitted.
The sensor storage container 1 is the same as that shown in FIG.
[1-2-1 Measuring instrument]
The measuring instrument 9 has a rectangular main body case 9a and a sensor mounting portion 15 provided on one end side of the main body case 9a. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the measuring instrument 9 is connected to the measuring unit 16 connected to the sensor mounting unit 15, the control unit 17 connected to the measuring unit 16, and the control unit 17. Communication unit 18. Further, the display unit 10, the battery 19, and the storage unit 20 are connected to the control unit 17.

[1-2-2 Mobile terminal]
As illustrated in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal 8 includes a rectangular main body case 8 a having a display unit 11. As shown in FIG. 6, the portable terminal 8 includes a communication unit 21 provided in the main body case 8 a, a control unit 22 connected to the communication unit 21, and a barcode reading connected to the control unit 22. Unit (an example of a sensor information reading unit) 23, a storage unit 24 connected to the control unit 22, and the like. The barcode reading unit 23 is configured by a general barcode reader. The storage unit 24 stores sensor information read by the barcode reading unit 23. Further, the display unit 11, the battery 25, the power key 26, and the clock 30 are connected to the control unit 22.
As shown in FIG. 4, the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 8 is provided on almost the entire surface of the rectangular main body case 8 a and enables touch input. When a button displayed on the display unit 11 by the control unit 22 is touch-selected with a user's finger, the requested function is executed by the control unit 22 according to the touch operation.

The control unit 22 of the mobile terminal 8 includes a processor such as a CPU, and implements each function of the mobile terminal 8 by reading, executing, and processing a predetermined computer program. In particular, the control unit 22 acquires information indicating the initial storage number and the expiration date mark of the sensor 2 of the sensor storage container 1 from the information read by the barcode reading unit 23 (FIG. 7A). The sensor information shown in (b) is stored in the storage unit 24. 7B, information on the acquired expiration date mark (that is, information on the expiration date of the sensor 2 from the time when the lid 4 is released from the container body 3), and the initial storage of the sensor 2 in the container body 3. Information indicating the number is stored in the storage unit 24 and displayed on the display unit 11 of the portable terminal 8.
[1-3 Operation of sensor information management system]
In the above configuration, the sensor management operation in the sensor storage container 1 will be described below.

[1-3-1 Management of sensor information]
When using the unused sensor storage container 1 for the first time, the user peels off the seal 12 and exposes the bar code 7 of the display unit 5 as described above.
Next, when the user turns on the power key 26 of the portable terminal 8 and starts a predetermined application, a barcode reading screen is displayed on the display unit 11 as shown in FIG. On the barcode reading screen, the captured image of the barcode reading unit 23 is displayed on the display unit 11. Therefore, the user brings the barcode reading unit 23 close to the sensor storage container 1 and enlarges and displays the barcode 7 as shown in FIG.
In this state, when the reading button 27 displayed at the lower part of the display unit 11 is touch-selected by the user, the barcode reading unit 23 of the mobile terminal 8 according to the present embodiment starts from the barcode 7 to the initial number of sensors 2 stored. Information corresponding to (for example, 30 sheets) is read and transmitted to the control unit 22. Further, the barcode reading unit 23 reads information corresponding to the expiration date (eg, 90 days) of the sensor 2 from the expiration date mark, and transmits the information to the control unit 22.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7B, the control unit 22 stores the initial storage number of the sensor 2 in the storage unit 24 as the number of sensors, and also stores the expiration date based on the expiration date mark in the storage unit 24. Further, the control unit 22 reads the current date from the clock 30 in FIG. 6, and this date is the date when the lid 4 is first released from the container body 3 (that is, the sensor 2 is first used from the unused sensor storage container 1. And the date of use of the sensor 2 (also referred to as the date of use of the sensor storage container 1) in the storage unit 24.
Thereafter, the control unit 22 displays the number of sensors, the sensor use start date, and the sensor expiration date on the display unit 11. For example, “the number of sensors is 30, the sensor use start date is January 1, 2013, and the sensor expiration date is 90 days” is displayed. The user who sees this display can know the number of sensors, the use start date of the sensor 2, and the expiration date of the sensor 2. Note that the expiration date may be displayed by the control unit 22 calculating and displaying the actual expiration date (for example, “Sensor expiration date is April 1, 2013”).

Therefore, the sensor information management system 100 of the present embodiment manages the number of sensors and manages the use start date and the expiration date of the sensor 2. After this time, the mobile terminal 8 uses the sensor storage container 1 that is in use as a target of use, and manages the number of sensors and the expiration date of the sensor 2 stored therein.
As described above, the expiration date for use that is counted from the date when the sensor 2 is first removed from the sensor storage container 1 is set for the sensor 2. Therefore, the user wants to use the sensor 2 taken out from the sensor storage container 1 in use when measuring the blood glucose level. In this embodiment, as described above, since the seal 12 is peeled off from the sensor storage container 1A in use, the user can easily distinguish it from the unused sensor storage container 1B. Therefore, even if the user has a plurality of sensor storage containers 1A and 1B as shown in FIG. 3, the user selects the sensor storage container 1A in use that is close to the expiration date, takes out the sensor 2, and The value can be measured.

Thereafter, when the sensor 2 is mounted on the sensor mounting portion 15 of the measuring instrument 9 and blood is spotted on the spotting portion 28 of the sensor 2, the blood glucose level is measured by the measuring portion 16. The control unit 17 of the measuring instrument 9 displays the measured blood glucose level on the display unit 10 and wirelessly transmits the blood glucose level to the portable terminal 8 via the communication unit 18. Hereinafter, the operation at the time of blood glucose level measurement will be described.
[1-3-2 Blood glucose level measurement]
FIG. 9 shows an operation flowchart of the portable terminal 8 at the time of measuring the blood sugar level.
The control unit 22 of the portable terminal 8 receives blood glucose level data measured from the measuring device 9 via the communication unit 21 (S901), and stores the received blood glucose level data in the storage unit 24 (S902).
The control unit 22 determines that the blood glucose level is measured by taking out the sensor 2 from the sensor storage container 1 by receiving the blood glucose level data. Therefore, the number of sensors 2 in the sensor storage container 1 stored in the storage unit 24 is reduced by one. (S903).

This time, the number of sensors 2 stored in the storage unit 24 is reduced by one to 29.
Thereafter, as shown in the “blood glucose level display screen” of FIG. 10, the control unit 22 displays the remaining number of sensors on the display unit 11 of the portable terminal 8 together with the received blood glucose level and measurement date and time (S904).
FIG. 10 shows an example of a “blood glucose level display screen” by the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 8. In the display example, the measurement date and blood glucose level is displayed as <2013/2/15 12:00 80 mg / dL> at the top of the display unit 11, and the number of sensors is displayed as <sensor remaining number: 29> in the middle. Yes.
Therefore, the user can confirm the correct remaining number of the sensor 2 every time the blood glucose level is measured, and as a result, the usability of the sensor 2 can be improved.

Since the sensor storage container 1 may be used for a long period of time, the user may forget the opening date of the sensor storage container 1 (the start date of use of the sensor 2). There are times when you don't understand. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the user presses a predetermined button (not shown) of the mobile terminal 8, the control unit 22 reads the number of sensors, the use start date of the sensor 2, and the expiration date of the sensor 2 from the storage unit 24. Is read out and displayed on the display unit 11. For this reason, the user who sees this display can confirm the use start date of the sensor 2 and the expiration date of the sensor 2 together with the number of sensors. Also from this point, the usability of the sensor 2 is good.
[1-4 Effects, etc.]
As described above, the sensor storage container 1 of the present embodiment is provided with the expiration date mark indicating the expiration date of the sensor 2 from the time when the lid 4 is released from the container body 3 on the container body 3 or the lid 4. The deadline mark is covered by a seal 12 that can be removed. Therefore, when the user peels off the seal, the expiration date of the sensor for measuring the blood glucose level can be known from the expiration date mark. Furthermore, since the seal 12 is peeled off from the sensor storage container 1A in use, it can be clearly distinguished from the unused sensor storage container 1B covered with the seal 12. As a result, the usability of the sensor can be improved.

In addition, the sensor information management system 100 of the present embodiment is configured such that the bar code reading unit 23 of the portable terminal 8 causes the display unit 5 of the sensor storage container 1 to display the initial number of sensors 2 stored in the sensor storage container 1 ( The number of sensors) and the expiration date mark are read and stored in the storage unit 24. Thereafter, for example, the blood glucose level is measured by the measuring device 9, and when the mobile terminal 8 receives the measurement value, the number of sensors stored in the storage unit 24 is reduced and displayed on the display unit 11 of the mobile terminal 8. For this reason, the blood glucose level is measured by the measuring device 9, and when this blood glucose level is sent to the mobile terminal 8, the mobile terminal 8 displays the accurate sensor number in the sensor storage container 1 on the display unit 11 together with the blood glucose level. . As a result, the user can know the exact number of sensors every time the blood glucose level is measured, and the usability of the sensor 2 is also good from this point.
As described above, in the first embodiment, the system for managing the number of sensors and the expiration date of the sensor 2 stored in one sensor storage container 1 is shown.

(Embodiment 2)
[2-1 Configuration]
The sensor information management system 100 of the present embodiment is different from the sensor information management system 100 of the first embodiment in that it mainly handles individual identification information of a plurality of sensor storage containers. Since the sensor storage container and the portable terminal have the same configuration as in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and the same drawings are referred to.
The user uses a storage case 14 as shown in FIG. 11 for daily blood glucose level measurement. In many cases, a spare sensor storage container 201B is placed in the storage case 14 in addition to the sensor storage container 201A in use. In such a case, for example, when the user forgets to return the sensor storage container 201A in use to the storage case 14 after measuring the blood glucose level at home, for example, the user goes out with the storage case 14 as it is. There is. In such a case, the user opens and uses the spare sensor storage container 201 </ b> B outside the home.

Therefore, the second embodiment extends the sensor information management system 100 of the first embodiment, and can manage a plurality of sensor storage containers, and provides a system for managing the number of sensors 2 stored in each sensor container. To do.
Specifically, the barcode 7 attached to the sensor storage container 201 of the present embodiment has individual identification information of the sensor storage container 201 as shown in FIG. In other words, the individual identification information sets the initial storage number (sensor number) of the sensor 2 stored in the sensor storage container 201 and the expiration date of the sensor 2 from the time when the lid 4 is released from the sensor storage container 201. A bar code 7 is used together with an expiration date mark.
The sensor information management system 100 of the present embodiment includes container information (an example of sensor information) as information indicating the sensor storage container 201. As shown in FIG. 12B, the container information includes individual identification information of each of the sensor storage containers 201A and 201B, the number of sensors indicating the remaining number of sensors 2 in the sensor storage container 201, and the start of use of the sensor storage container 201. It has a bottle use start date (also referred to as a sensor use start date) representing the date, and a sensor 2 expiration date.

[2-2 Operation]
Below, operation | movement of the sensor information management system 100 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated along the operation | movement flowchart of FIG. Here, a case will be described as an example where the user forgets the sensor storage container 201A in use at home and uses the spare sensor storage container 201B on the go.
[2-2-1 Additional processing of container information]
First, as shown in FIG. 14, the user selects the bottle selection icon 29 displayed on the display unit 11 of the portable terminal 8 by a touch operation (S1301). Then, as shown in the display example of “TOP screen” in FIG. 15, the control unit 22 of the mobile terminal 8 displays a TOP screen for prompting confirmation of the sensor storage container (hereinafter also referred to as a bottle) on the display unit 11 (S1302). ).

As shown in FIG. 15, the portable terminal 8 of the present embodiment is provided with a “* add new bottle” button A2 as an example of a display execution operation unit on its TOP screen. When the user selects the “* Add new bottle” button A2 (S1303), the control unit 22 activates the barcode reading unit 23 (S1304). At this time, the display unit 11 displays a barcode reading screen as in FIGS. 8A and 8B. The user peels off the seal 12 of the sensor storage container 201 </ b> B to expose the display unit 5. And container information is acquired by reading the barcode 7 of the display part 5 of the sensor storage container 201B by the barcode reading part 23. FIG. The container information includes three pieces of information including individual identification information of the sensor storage container 201B, the initial number of sensors 2 (the number of sensors), and the expiration date of the sensor 2 based on the expiration date mark.
The control unit 22 compares the acquired individual identification information of the container information with the individual identification information of the container information already stored in the storage unit 24 (S1305). As a result, if the acquired container information is not yet stored in the storage unit 24, the current date is acquired from the clock 30 of FIG. 5, and the container date (FIG. 12 ( b) “201B”) is added. That is, the date when the sensor 2 is first taken out from the sensor storage container 201B is regarded as the use start date (bottle use start date) of the sensor storage container 201B, and is added to the container information.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12B, the newly acquired container information includes individual identification information of the sensor storage container 201B, the number of sensors of the sensor 2 (here, the same as the initial storage number), the bottle use start date, It has four pieces of information on the expiration date of the sensor 2. And the control part 22 memorize | stores this added container information in the memory | storage part 24 (FIG. 6) (S1306).
Next, as shown in the display example of FIG. 16, the control unit 22 displays a bottle confirmation screen on the display unit 11 (S1307). In the same screen, the initial storage number (the number of sensors) of the sensor 2 of the sensor storage container 201B and the use start date are displayed on the display unit 11 as a container information button B2. Specifically, a container information button B2 indicating the newly acquired container information of the sensor storage container 201B is displayed at the center of the display unit 11, and characters <[2013/01/10] indicating the bottle use start date and the number of sensors. 30 sheets>.

With this process, when a new sensor storage container 201B is added in the sensor information management system 100, the container information (the number of sensors, the bottle use start date) is displayed on the display unit 11 as a container information button. Therefore, the sensor 2 is easy to use for the user.
Furthermore, the control part 22 reads all the container information from the memory | storage part 24, and displays the read container information with the character of a bottle use start date and the number of sensors as a container information button.
Specifically, two container information buttons B1 and B2 of the sensor storage container 201A and the sensor storage container 201B are displayed. On the upper part of the display unit 11, a container information button B1 indicating the container information of the sensor storage container 201A is displayed together with <[2012/12/01] remaining 12 sheets> indicating the bottle use start date and the number of sensors.

For this reason, since the container information of other sensor storage containers is also displayed with the sensor storage container 1B read this time, the managed container information can be confirmed at a time.
At this time, the control unit 22 highlights the container information button B2 based on the newly added container information read by the barcode reading unit 23 this time by surrounding it with a thick frame as shown in FIG. Then, it is displayed together with the characters “* new reading bottle” (hereinafter referred to as “specific display”). For this reason, the user can easily recognize the number of sensors of the sensor storage container 201B newly added this time and the bottle use start date.
When the newly registered container information button B2 is touch-selected by the user on the bottle confirmation screen of FIG. 16, the control unit 22 sets the selected bottle as a used bottle as shown in FIG. A screen for confirming this is displayed on the display unit 11. When the user confirms the number of sensors of the container information button and the bottle use start date displayed on the upper part of the screen and selects the “OK button” in the middle of the confirmation screen (S1308), the control unit 22 detects the newly registered sensor. The storage container 201B is set as a target container (bottle in use) (S1313).

By performing the above operation, even if the user forgets the sensor storage container 201A in use at home and is forced to use the spare sensor storage container 201B on the go, the sensor storage container 201A In addition, the sensor storage container 201B can be newly set as a use target and used.
The user performs blood sugar level measurement processing shown in FIG. 9 using the sensor 2 taken out from the sensor storage container 201B. After the measurement, the control unit 22 updates the number of sensors in the container information of the sensor storage container 201B that is the object of use (that is, decreases the number of sensors by one).
[2-2-2 Confirmation / change of container information]
Thereafter, when the user returns home and the sensor storage container 201A is returned to the storage case 14, the sensor storage container 201A and the sensor storage container 201B are stored again in the storage case 14, as shown in FIG. The user wants to use the sensor storage container 201A whose use start date is old. However, since both of the sensor storage containers 201A and 201B are in the opened state, it is possible to tell which is the sensor storage container 201A and which is the sensor storage container 201B. Absent.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, by reading the container information of the sensor storage container 201A or 201B using the barcode reading unit 23, the sensor storage container having the older use start date (that is, the sensor storage container 201A) The sensor storage containers 201A and 201B are identified.
The procedure will be described below with reference to the operation flowchart of FIG.
When the user selects the bottle selection icon 29 shown in FIG. 14 displayed on the display unit 11 of the portable terminal 8 (S1301), the TOP screen of FIG. 15 is displayed (S1302). As shown in FIG. 15, the mobile terminal 8 of the present embodiment has an “unfinished bottle” button (an example of a display execution operation unit) A1 on its TOP screen in addition to the “* add new bottle” button A2. Is provided. The “unfinished bottle” button A <b> 1 is a button for displaying information regarding the sensor storage container that has already acquired the container information and stored in the storage unit 24.

When the user selects the “unfinished bottle” button A1 (S1303), the control unit 22 reads all the container information from the storage unit 24 and displays the bottle confirmation screen of FIG. 18 on the display unit 11 (S1309). In the same screen, the read container information is displayed as a container information button together with characters of the bottle use start date and the number of sensors.
Specifically, two container information buttons B1 and B2 of the sensor storage container 201A and the sensor storage container 201B are displayed. On the upper part of the display unit 11, a container information button B1 indicating the container information of the sensor storage container 201A is displayed together with <[2012/12/01] remaining 12 sheets> indicating the bottle use start date and the number of sensors. That is, since the container information of other sensor storage containers is displayed together with the newly acquired sensor storage container 201B, the user can check the managed container information at a time.

Moreover, when displaying the container information (the number of sensors of the container main body 3 or the bottle use start date) on the display unit 11, the control unit 22 displays the use start date of the sensor 2 in order from the oldest. Specifically, the container information is displayed from the top of the display unit 11 in order of oldest bottle use start date (order of use start date). For this reason, since the container information button B2 of the sensor storage container 201B added this time is specified and displayed at the bottom, the newly added container information can be easily confirmed.
In addition, the order in the display part 11 is not limited to the above, The control part 22 may display container information from the top of the display part 11 in order with a new bottle use start date.
Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the sensor storage container 201B currently set as a target container is surrounded by a thick frame and is specifically displayed together with the characters “* selected”. Since the sensor storage container 201B is used by the user on the go and performs the measurement once, the container information button B2 displays the number of sensors 2 as 29 along with the start date of use of the sensor 2. ing.

On the bottle selection screen, as an example of an operation key for identifying the sensor container 201, a bottle check button B3 for restarting the barcode reading unit 23 is displayed at the bottom of the display unit 11 together with the characters [CHECK]. It is displayed.
When the selected bottle (that is, the bottle that is specifically displayed) is different from the bottle that the user wants to use, the user selects the check button B3 ("No" in S1310). And the control part 22 of the portable terminal 8 in this embodiment starts the barcode reading part 23 by operation of this check button B3, and container information is displayed from the display part 5 of the sensor storage container 201 by this barcode reading part 23. Is read (S1304), the container information corresponding to the acquired individual identification information of the sensor storage container 201 is detected from the container information stored in the storage unit 24 (S1305). Then, as shown in FIG. 19, the control unit 22 causes the display unit 11 to specifically display the number of sensors of the detected container information and the use start date (display in a state surrounded by a thick frame) (S1311). Here, it is assumed that the control unit 22 reads the barcode information of the sensor storage container 201A and acquires the container information of the sensor storage container 201A from the storage unit 24. At this time, as shown in FIG. 19, the container information button B1 of the sensor storage container 201A is specified and displayed in a state surrounded by a thick frame, and is displayed at the top of the display unit 11 together with the characters “* reading bottle”. Let

Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the control unit 22 reads other container information stored in the storage unit 24, and displays the number of sensors corresponding to the individual identification information and the use start date for each container information. Display on the unit 11. That is, the control unit 22 reads all the container information from the storage unit 24, and as shown in the bottle confirmation screen of FIG. 19, the container information is used as a container information button together with the characters of the bottle use start date and the number of sensors. It is displayed on the display unit 11.
At this time, since the control unit 22 displays the container information from the top of the display unit 11 in order from the oldest sensor use start date (bottle use start date), the user can It can be recognized that “the storage container read now is the sensor storage container with the oldest sensor use start date”.
In addition, since the bottle use start date is determined when the new sensor storage container 201 is used, the user may forget the bottle use start date when the sensor storage container 201 is used for a long period of time. In this embodiment, when the container information of the sensor storage container 201 is read using the barcode reading unit 23, the read container information is stored in the storage unit 24 and displayed on the display unit 11 as a container information button. The Moreover, the container use button to be displayed displays the bottle use start date together with the number of sensors. For this reason, the user can check the bottle use start date, which is often forgotten, by using the mobile terminal 8 that is usually used, and from this point, the usability of the sensor 2 is improved.

Thereafter, when the container information button B1 is touch-selected by the user, the control unit 22 displays a confirmation screen for container information as shown in the bottle selection screen of FIG. 20 (S1312). If the user confirms the container information button and selects the “OK button” in the middle of the confirmation screen, the control unit 22 sets the sensor storage container 201A as the use target container (S1313).

Further, the user can directly select the container information buttons B1 and B2 displayed on the bottle confirmation screens of FIGS.
When the read container information is that of the sensor storage container 201B, the container information button B2 displayed second from the top on the bottle confirmation screen of FIG. 19 is specified and surrounded by a thick frame. The user can recognize that “there is a sensor storage container whose use start date is older than the storage container just read” by the specific display of the thick frame and its display position. As a result, the usability of the sensor 2 is improved.

As described above, the sensor information management system 100 according to the present embodiment can manage the number of sensors and the expiration date in each of the plurality of sensor storage containers (this time, the sensor storage container 201A and the sensor storage container 201B). Since these can be confirmed by the display of 8, the sensor 2 is easy to use.
In the present embodiment, the individual identification information of the sensor storage container 201 is read by the barcode reading unit 23 of the mobile terminal 8, and the read individual identification information is stored in the storage unit 24 to manage the number of sensors and the start date of use. Is to do. That is, the sensor storage container 201 itself does not need to have a configuration for managing the number of sensors and the expiration date (for example, the sensor storage container 201 does not need to display the container information on the display unit 5 so as to be visible). The configuration of the sensor storage container 201 that is discarded after use can be simplified.

In addition, a use object container is a container of the object which decrements the number of the sensors 2 by 1 when a user measures a blood glucose level. Therefore, when the user measures the blood glucose level with the measuring device 9 and the measuring device 9 transmits the blood glucose level to the portable terminal 8, the portable terminal 8 individually identifies the container information of the container to be used (sensor storage container 201). Based on the information, the information is extracted from the container information group in the storage unit 24, and the number of sensors included in the container information is reduced. Thereafter, the number of sensors stored in the storage unit 24 is updated.
As described above, when the sensor information management system 100 according to the present embodiment reads the container information of the sensor storage container 201B with the barcode reading unit 23 in addition to the container information of the sensor storage container 201A, the management of the portable terminal 8 is performed. The sensor storage container 201B can be registered below and added as a container to be used. As a result, it is possible to manage the sensors 2 stored in a plurality of sensor storage containers.

Note that the control unit 22 of the mobile terminal 8 according to the present embodiment may perform a caution display based on the expiration date set by the expiration date mark. Specifically, the control unit 22 reads today's date from the clock 30 and confirms that today's date is smaller than the expiration date of use of the sensor 2. This confirmation is performed, for example, when the number of sensors is displayed on the display unit 11. When the expiry date of the sensor 2 approaches, for example, 10 days before the expiry date, for example, a display (not shown) indicating that the expiry date is near is displayed on the display unit 11 together with the display of the number of sensors. As a result, when the expiration date of the sensor 2 approaches, a warning is displayed on the display unit 11, so that the user can know that the expiration date of the sensor 2 is close, and this also improves usability. be able to.
